LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Great Lakes Indoor Showcase
Kaleb Smothers is a 2018 RHP with a 6-3 205 lb. frame from Geneva, OH who attends Geneva HS. Big and strong build with the potential to get stronger. Full hands over head delivery, has a high 3/4's arm slot that creates good angle to the plate with good extension out front, bit cross body on release but doesn't impact his ability to finish his pitches, repeated his mechanics with maturity. Fastball topped out at 81 mph, mostly straight with occasional arm side running action, has the ability to work his fastball side to side and stay down in the zone. Curveball had good depth and tightness with 11/5 shape, very consistent throwing strikes with his breaking ball, did a very nice job of sequencing pitches and consistently changing eye level and location. Mature right hander who should pitch at the next level with a bit more velocity. Good student.
